the latest

once again, things seem to have picked up. our supervisor isn't in the country, so we've been making our own schedule. it's been fun and challenging to be sure. in our focus family, we've were able to share more about the truth in a very focused way again (PTL!) and really, it's because he understands english so much better. in one of the other homes we go to, we were able to share a story, but it is hard to communicate because our hindi is poor and they speak little english; ask that we would be able to communicate the Truth more clearly in whatever capasity He would allow. we go there again tomorrow (monday) and we are nervous because they want us to spend the night. we need to try to communicate why we can't in a tactful way. ask that He would give us the words. it blows my mind that people would want us to stay in their homes for seven hours, let alone spend the night when we can't even communicate verbally affectively. oh well, that's hospitality again for you!

in other news, i learned how to cook a dish and how to make chai. yes, you all will be subjected to my cooking now (suckas!). we went site-seeing today and spent too much money (equivelent to 25 US dollars). but now we can at last say that we have seen much of the pride and joy of this city and the main attractions that we pass by almost every day. :)

thank you for lifting us up! right now it seems that i am almost too comfortable and forget to rely on Him. while it is almost impossible to get comfortable in this place, it is to get caught up in oneself and in my desires instead of looking to His desires and to Him. ask that my focus would be on His glory and every step and decision for His work, not my own. thank you again, for your faithfulness! -cs
